Wealth and success
Prosperity is a state of flourishing, success, and good fortune, especially in financial matters.
A prosperous person or community enjoys wealth, comfort, and favorable conditions.
The word often appears in discussions of economic growth and social well-being: The postwar years brought unprecedented prosperity to the middle class.
Prosperity can also refer to nonmaterial thriving—health, happiness, or spiritual fulfillment—though the economic sense dominates modern usage.
